I hope you like it guys. We are getting closer to Sirius. All characters belong to J.K. Rowling.

Remus didn't feel anything, he couldn't think of anything other than his husband alone, cold and scared in that prison. He didn't register Ted helping him through the Floo Andromeda and Harry looking around for his clothes, or Minerva and Harry fighting. He lay in his bed thinking of the last 10 years, he had been outside laughing, exploring, and living while his husband rotted away. He saw someone hold a vial in front of him, a tiny hand Harry, the boy smiled at him, and he didn't even fight whatever they were pushing down his throat.

He woke startled, he found a little boy cuddling next to him, he smiled and cuddled more into him but after a while, he couldn't stop the feeling of Despair and stood up and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, the dream was still lingering. They were in the forest, it was the last time the Marauders were together in Hogwarts. Why did he dream about that, was it nostalgia? it had been their goodbye, the last time they played together like children he sat down to drink his tea he let the silent tears fall.

"You didn't betray us, you killed him because he sold them out"— he whispered cleaning his tears.

"Who are you talking to."

He jumped when he heard Harry—"I'm just talking out loud."

"Yes, you have been mumbling all night."— Harry said joining him at the table.

"Really"- he said surprised.

"Aha, Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail and you kept mumbling Rat rat…"—Harry told him- "Andy had to give you a calming drought."

Remus nodded lost in thought, why was he remembering them in Animagus? –"Where's Andy"— he realized –"And why are you not in school?"

Harry smiled sadly- "You weren't okay, we didn't want to leave you alone and she's upstairs with Ted, and Professor McGonagall wanted to take me, but we had words."—he smiled.

Remus laughed a little watery- "I love you, Cub."

"Love you too"- Harry mumbled quietly, this was the first time he said it to anyone other than his parents in his head- "now what are we going to do about Uncle Sirius."

Remus mumbled— "Still he hurt people."—

"But not Mom and Dad and if we didn't know about that we might not know about the other thing..."

"It was 13 Muggles and he destroyed Peter... Only a finger"- he paused put his hand on the table and then turned to look at Harry with a frown. - "It was only a finger left, no body, no blood..."-He gasped startling Harry- "Uncle Rem? Andy!"

Remus realized he was scaring Harry, he tried to calm down, Andy came rushing down the stairs—"Remus what is happening?"

"I think I realized something, and it makes me really angry with myself, it's always been right there"- he laughed a little maniacally.

"How could I be so stupid."

"You are not making sense."- Ted told him going towards Harry who was still looking a little panicky.

Remus sat down defeated- "nobody knows, it's a secret."

"We're really good at keeping secrets"—Andromeda said sharing a panicked look with Ted, harry was walking close to Remus.

"They were Animagus."

"Holy shit"- Ted said.

"They were so young"- Andromeda said in desbelief.

"It was for me."

Harry was fascinated with this new information, - "what were their forms?"

"A black dog, for Sirius padfoot, a stag for James, prongs, and a rat wormtail for Peter."

Andromeda nodded but pushed Remus's hand away from his hair— "Stop pacing and talk."

"Harry said that we might not know everything... What if we don't know everything"-he gestured with his hand.- "Everybody told us what was right there"—Remus started pacing—"what if Sirius didn't kill Peter, what if he transformed?"

Ted's eyes went wide- "That's a little bit of a stretch."

Andromeda didn't know what to do, she was nodding with Remus— "he's a rat he disappears nobody would have seen anything…"

Ted turned to his wife – "Andy!" after all these years why hasn't he shown up" – Ted didn't want to ruin their hopes, but it sounded a little bit farfetched.

Harry was quiet listening to Remus- "What happened to Peter Exactly."

Remus explained the story— "Sirius didn't say much when he was captured, he never explained why he went after Peter before everything happened, we didn't trust anyone, we didn't trust any of us... They told us Peter was dead, and also the Muggles, we didn't question it; I questioned his disloyalty to your mom and dad, but I didn't question him murdering Peter."

Andromeda didn't want to say it was because Sirius was very capable of doing murder.

Ted calls for Remus's attention- "still doesn't explain why after so long Peter's nowhere to be found, if he's alive..."

"Maybe he left the country."—Andromeda said- "or still lives as a rat."

"11 years as a rat"- Ted shrugged- "he's guilty he knows it, he knows that if he comes out of hiding Remus will know immediately, Animagus has distinctive features, what were Peters?"

"None, that's why he was perfect for our pranks, he looks like a brown garden rat, with a worm-like tail, his distinctive right now would be missing a finger"- Remus exhaled, he pulled at his hair- "I'm projecting right now, I want Sirius to be here and I'm grasping for anything."-

Harry tried not to let it show he knew, he knew where that rat was, and if he was right that rat was living at Hogwarts, one of the murders of his parents was living with him. Sleeping In the same room. —"We need to call the authorities."

"We don't have proof."-Ted exhaled. - "Augusta said she will be a witness and will help Minerva fight for a trial, but about the rest, nothing."

Harry let them speak, he wasn't thinking about anything other than the rat in his dorm. But he knew he had to act, sunrise came, and he said he wanted to go back to class, it was the only way he was going to go back to the castle without alarming anyone, it didn't take much to convince them, Remus clearly wanted privacy. They fire call to Minerva to let Harry through and he hugs Remus goodbye. —"Everything will be okay Uncle Rem" -

Remus smiled at him before pushing him into the fire, Minerva sent him off to his dorm to get ready for the day he moved mechanically he had to act normal. For a moment he stopped in the hallway, what was he thinking, was he really accusing Ron's pet of being an illegal Animagus? A few months ago he didn't even know that magic existed. he shook there was nothing to lose, if the rat was a rat then that was it, and if not then… then he would get his family back, and Uncle Rim would get his husband back.

He made his way quickly up the stairs, when he arrived Neville and they were getting ready Ron had just barely woken up he answered all their questions, received shoulder pads from Neville and Ron, fixed his bag put on his robes, he knew Ron would leave scabbers alone until after breakfast, he had time. He walked out the door, not looking at the rat until he found one of the six-year prefects, she found his request strange but agreed, he walked back up the stairs and opened the door, he walked towards his trunk only to change ways and go for the rat who immediately squeaked, harry heard the Spells but it wasn't until the third when the Rat fall unconscious. The whole dorm was in disarray.

"I..."- Harry looked at the rat at his feet and looked at the prefect— "can you please go to Professor McGonagall, to meet me in her office and also the headmaster please."

The prefect didn't like to be ordered by an 11-year-old but looking at Harry's face she agreed. Harry grabbed a sheet and put the rat inside like a sack he quickly walked to the professor's office he didn't let go of the rat while he Floo Uncle Remus, who came down the stairs a little sleepy and red eye. — "Harry what's wrong, did something happen?"-

"But I need you to come it's urgent."

Dumbledore and Minerva walked in and he waited for Remus to come through, he frowned at the sheet that Harry was raising –"I found Peter Pettigrew."

"What!"-Minerva said and Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, he hadn't heard much from Minerva but her behavior had been odd and he now understood why.

Remus blinked at Harry not understanding what he was saying. He heard Dumbledore asking for an Explanation, he heard words like irresponsible, extraordinary, dumb, and foolish and then he heard Harry say – "I knew I had to capture him."

Remus looks back at Harry alarmed- "Harry what in the hell are you talking about?"

Minerva moved towards him- "Remus please sit down."

Dumbledore put the sheet on the floor he stared at Remus before putting a sticky charm on his chair, he opened the sheet giving Remus the full glimpse of his old friend, he growled startling Harry and Minerva put a hand over his shoulder- "calm down."

Minerva gasped in horror when Peter emerged still unconscious, Remus tried to leap forward, and Harry frowned and he looked disgusted.

"Let me go, Minerva, I'll kill him."-Remus growled

Dumbledore sent a Patronus to Poppy and Severus, ordering potions— "Minerva send for the Aurors. Harry, please stay back"—Harry hadn't noticed he was walking towards Peter.

After that it was a blur of things happening at once, Harry and Remus stayed close to each other while Snape arrived with Veritaserum, Poppy did a diagnostic spell deeming him healthy which made Remus growled.

He came back to himself when Andromeda, Ted, and Amelia arrived at Dumbledore's office he didn't even know how he had gotten there in the first place, he heard them discussing Sirius— "He is innocent."

Everyone looked at him Amelia spoke- "Well it's good to see you react, like I was saying we need to create a case and ask for trials, Pettigrew has to be brought in to be put under lockdown and Mr. Black will be moved to a lower part of Azkaban."

"Heir Black"—Remus said.

"He has to be moved out of Azkaban"- Harry said- "my godfather shouldn't even be there you need to get him out."

"It doesn't work like that"- Amelia said sternly.

"I think it does, you put him there because you couldn't do your job"- Harry said passionately and Remus felt a wave of warmth surround him, he sounded like Lily.

Remus spoke— "I'm sure he can go home until you get him a trial."

Dumbledore looked at Remus and Amelia— "I'm sure you could do something, Amelia."

She shook her head—"You're not counting on the fact that he could be dangerous, Azkaban changes people."

Remus didn't drop the topic- "Our home is safe, I could take care of him, I can handle him, I can keep him safe."

"And who is going to keep you safe."

"I can handle myself."

"What about the medical care we don't know if he's... Well, I can guarantee you he's not healthy."

"What about our house?"—Andromeda said quickly—"I can ask for some days in St´Mungos I'm a certified healer, Tonks is in Auror, and our home is well protected."

Amelia pinched her lips as she looked at Harry Andromeda and Remus, but it was Augusta who spoke—"If you leave that boy in Azkaban, he won't be mentally stable for his trial, if you put him in the ministry cells, we both know he will be in danger not everybody's is going to like Sirius being out and I don't think St´Mungos will tolerate constant Auror vigilance."

Dumbledore spoke up- "I agree with Augusta, if Andromeda is willing, I don't see why Mr. Black can't be moved."

Remus bit down his retort, if they had listened to him many years ago, they wouldn't be having this conversation.

Amelia stood up— "Don't say I didn't warn you. Hestia"—she turned to the Auror—Go to Azkaban, if Black recognizes you, take him to Tonks house."
